Excellent design and renders as usual. 👍

Keep 'em coming.

Thank you! I'm not sure why Maxwell gets such a hard time! I personally think it's brill 😄

Ok, I love a wee road-trip!! I was actually talking with friends last week about visiting Cong in Co. Mayo. I've been there many times (my dad is a humongous Quiet Man fan, he met Maureen O'Hara quite a few times, even in her OWN home, they even went to Church together...weird!!).

If by compile you mean the render time and how long it takes up your computer, you may want to use an older system that can just stand by doing it's thing as a render farm of sorts. It doesn't have to be as fast if it's dedicated to the cause of rendering. Beware, SU Pro will only run on one system on a network at a time.

Sorry I'm only replying now! No, no! I'm not giving up on my rendering; only my animations! Although I desperately need a dedicated rendering workstation. Just need some $$$$$!!!!

When you mentioned linking my first post with the first image, did you mean uploading my first image again?

Yes to the first post!

Remove Lonely Vertices....got it!! Thank you very much for your help 😄

@unknownuser said:

Or for the next time say to your architects to send you Su files in V 7 or V8 😉
All versions of Su can export in old format! ☀

You could have also Downloaded the free 2014 version and used it as a converter to 2013.

Oops, I used Windows Movie Maker (I know, so basic but so effective!) but was heavily reliant on Photoshop to create the individual frames!

It was blocked earlier.

Thanks for the links! I decided to make my own HDR image in the end! I'll upload the results!

Thanks Dave! 😄

Hey there PB and Carloh! I've attached an initial render. The ceiling is still ever so slightly noisy but I'm really happy with it. I used the Focal Distance tool to make the main body of the chandelier in focus and everything in the background slightly blurred (actually the nearest 'candle' holder is slightly blurred too). I did do a little post processing in Photoshop to bring out the highlights of the crystals and distressed gold of the chandelier a little more. Although, I should point out that I didn't model this chandelier!! I downloaded it from the 3D Warehouse!

I've kinda worked out that natural light (and plenty of it) is pivotal to getting the desired effect in addition to fiddling with the settings in the material editor!!

Jason, if you're reading this, thank you so much for creating the distressed gold MXM material!! You're a star 😄

Box, thanks for your reply on this. I ended up removing Maxwell Render and reinstalling. It fixed the problem 😄

Neets

D'oh!

Never cross my mind you were on an old version. Happy mapping

I use Maxwell since the first alpha/beta releases 8 years ago.

Yes, sure you can open the MXI file rendered on the network on your laptop after the render has been completed and the adjust the multilight settings. There is no difference to a MXI generated on your laptop.
If you want to see it while it is rendering you can either use the preview function of the manager or simply open the image file (or MXI) stored in the maxwell temp directory of the node.

Ahhhh, I'm getting closer to understanding all of this technical stuff. My current license allows me to apply the license to a laptop and one workstation; so I could use my laptop as the 'manager' and the workstation as the rendernode ('slave'). Hmmmmm.....the cogs are turning.

I've only recently realised just how pathetic an i3 is for rendering!! Gimme a break; I'm still learning!! 😉
